NAD was covalently linked to Sepharose‐4B using a 6 carbon spacer. Sterile, dialyzed spent culture medium containing 100 Lf/ml of diphtheria toxin or material concentrated by (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 precipitation containing 1500 Lf/ml, was chromatographed on a column of NAD–Sepharose. Ultraviolet absorbing material which did not flocculate with diphtheria antitoxin was eluted with 0.02 M phosphate buffer. When the elation buffer was changed to one containing 0.5 M NaCl, purified toxin was eluted off the column.
